Balancing the Load
White socks in this pile. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Black ones over here.
I’ll hand wash my negligee;
It is much too sheer. . . . . . . . . . . . . . Lots of colored work clothes
going over here.
Light towels here; dark ones there . . . . . . . . . with the ugly dishrags
But in this pile; all underwear!. . . . . . . . . . . . . . One red t-shirt; two in blue
Now I’m almost through.
Bed sheets here. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . My dark slacks here.
I think the piles are done.
In the washer; then the drier!
To make a load feel lighter, I try to make it fun.
